The track, ‘Look What You Made Me Do’, hit the digital airwaves yesterday, while the full music video is due to drop Sunday at the MTV Video Music Awards. But people are already wary of the clip, after Swift unveiled a short 20-second teaser that looks… kind of familiar.

Say what you will about Swift, her music or her politics, but she sure knows how to get people talking.
